उत्तर

Pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases with a single-ringed structure. The two pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine (C) and thymine (T). They pair with purines (adenine and guanine, which have double-ringed structures) to maintain uniform helix diameter. This complementary pairing of purine-pyrimidine combinations ensures consistent spacing in the DNA double helix.
